Rental Fact Sheet Rental Costs Client Contract Parking FAQ
The George Peabody Library does not have its own parking garage. Though the Peabody Institute does have a parking garage in their facilites, it is not available for private events. We suggest valet parking. Contact information for our suggested valet services are as follows: Jay's Valet: 410-963-3557 Courtesy Parking: 410-593-9990 RiteWay: 410.363.0993 When can I speak to a live person? If you prefer not to leave an email or phone message during the week, please call the Private Events Office at 443-840-9585. When can I visit the library? If you would like a walk-through with the Private Events staff, please email gplprivateevents@jhu.edu for appointment times. Set times are Mondays 9-5 pm and Saturdays when we have a scheduled event. Does Peabody Library have liability insurance? The Peabody Library does not have liability insurance so clients need to either purchase an additional policy for the day of their event (i.e. from wedsafe.com) or add Peabody Library to their home insurance policy for at least $1,000,000. Vendors that we have not worked with previously must provide certificates of insurance that meet our specifications. We reserve the right to change our requirements for any event. Certain events will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if additional insurance is necessary. Peabody Library reccomends the following insurance: Urmia Tulip Plus www.urmia.org/tulip - Use code 32081258 Does Peabody allow some things to be brought in early and stored for a day or two? Because Peabody is a public library, early deliveries are not permitted. How much time is allowed for set-up? A three hour set-up time is included in the rental price. Are candles allowed? Candles are not permitted in the library. Battery operated candles are available through the caterer. Is smoking permitted? Smoking is not allowed in any of the Peabody facilities.
